Abstract:
The seminal vesicles are frequently overlooked when reviewing abdominal and pelvic imaging studies, and normal variants and pathologic conditions are often missed or misinterpreted. This is largely due to lack of familiarity with the organ, its anatomic variants, congenital abnormalities and disease conditions. This pictorial review aims to familiarize the reader with the range of normal appearances, congenital anomalies and disease entities that involve the seminal vesicles to avoid overtreatment and misdiagnoses.
